Textarea Wrapper Usage The following segment provides instructions for designers and developers regarding the appropriate utilization of this component in various situations. Do: Use in forms when users need to enter and edit an amount of text that’s longer than a single line. Use the default Textarea type that includes a label as it's the most common and user-friendly way. Keep the label text short and descriptive (one or two words). Place validation text right below the Textarea box. Respect the min-height. Mark required fields with a red asterisk to improve the usability of forms. Use the Pure variant (without label) only if the context clearly describes the purpose. Don't: Don't use when text entry is expected to be short. Use an input instead to avoid confusing users. Don't overwhelm users with too many Textareas on a single page. Stick to no more than two Textareas.
